this is a huge achievement. the setting is vibrant and breathing, the descriptions are enthralling--its very immersive. also i can pine for other men just as i do irl.
SPOILER!!! In chapter 9 when dealing with minister of justice has anyone been able to choose the third option? I've tried everything other than completely snubbing the nobles in order to unlock it.
I: told everyone about the assassination attempt, planned a public coronation (open to public and nobles), had festivities only for the public. Not sure if those are all the options you get, but choose ones which benefit the public the most.
Potentially spoiler, but it's just discussion about who would be the assassin.
Kham getting more sus in each chapters, but Idk, maybe because I decided to not trust her at the first place. But, consider this; why peris want to assassinate the Crown, if Crown was chosen by the spirits? The personafication of the nature itself. Peris are part of nature. At least, that's my theory. An IF theory. She getting even more trustworthy when I chose not to suspect her. I owe her an apology after these 3 years🤣
In chapt 12 it depends but apparently our favorite sentient tall bacon tree might be holding something from us soooooooooooooooo it is in the balance of what is Kham's possible further motive here
When I decided to trust Kham by choosing choices that not suspect her, she really friendly to MC. Even ... (Spoiler)
Showing her human form. So Idk if it's part of her facade, but after playing both route (trust and no trust), it seem like she just PLAYING with our suspicion if we don't trust her and only being genuine if we trust her. Typical fae behavior 🤦♀️
AHHH EVERY INTIMATE MOMENT WITH X MAKE ME GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEETS. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! Thank you so much for this beautiful work qeresi and happy New Year to you too!
could you provide some help on what gets the high romance with X? i've tried many things but seem to be stuck on "your relationship has been unsteady lately"
I think you gotta pick the choices where you placed trusted in him that he will be back and respected his boundaries, I hope this could help and goodluck on getting it!!!!
this guy's right about the value of eggs tho lol. they're so expensive where i live and i loved this little bit, it was hilarious! happy new year, readers and qeresî! <3 will be replaying and trying my hardest to get high romance for all four ROs, wish me luck i'm actually struggling sm :')
I'm late like 3 daysss. Literally played every ROs while waiting back then so to indulge myself, I will be playing from the start. Thank you author for this storyT^T
Just played X's route and... Could the Steward not arrive one day later? Or just an hour? ToT Poor Ziryan tho, always being the messenger and interrupting MC's moments with LIs
BARKING GROWLING FRTHING AT THE MOUTH KICKING MY EET TWIRLING MY HAIR THE HIGH ROMANCE R ROUTE OMYGOD MY ELUSIONS ARE FED I SHALL NEVER BE STARVED GAIN THIS WILL LINGER IN MY MEMORY FROM YEARS WHEN I TELL YOU MY JAW DROPPED /gen
when i first found this game i wasnt really into the interactive novels but this has made me a LOVER of them.
i was originally going to choose dara as my first LI but xelef pulled me in IMMEDIATELYY like i loved his energy and the immediate display of chemistry between the crown and him.
the scene in the tower and the scene in the newest chapter (CH12) have me completely enthralled with him, more so than i already was before, i was smiling like an idiot the entire time, im so excited to see how our relationship with him develops through the story, and i PRAY he courts the crown at some point (he probably will) and i hope we have a scene that goes uninterrupted for once lol.
THANK YOU!! qeresî for sharing your idea of this story with the world because it is so well done! im looking forward to more chapters from you <3.
edit; I PLAYED DARAS ROUTE AND ITS SO HEART WRENCHINGLY SWEET I MIGHT SOBB ugh i need the crown and dara to get it GOING already </3
i literally can't bring myself to stray from d's route it's too addicting 😩😩 and also yea it's like ziryan hates us bc why is his timing so ass ONE SECOND ONE SECOND IS ALL I NEED WITH MY WIFE ZIRYAN 😭😭
That was honestly really sweet, the forehead kiss?! Now i wonder what happens in low romance but in high romance? Ziriayn whyyyy
Now~ let me go and play ch12 but D's route tho X's route will take a while since i had just one save which i accidentally deleted ToT (more than a while honestly since it's already tomorrow?)
Now I'm really happy that i stayed up late THE CHAPTER IS OUT
Just started playing the new chapter (R route)
And well /Spoiler\ .................I'm just on the cheek kiss don't know what happens next but it's so cute ToT Also Ziryan... Not again- (yeah i kinda did all of the routes up to ch11) But the kiss happened so i can't really be mad
I first played this game in June (2024) and i absolutely loved it! i kinda forgot to look if the game has and update since like November, but today i was just on itch looking for something to play since i was bored and saw A Tale of Crowns so i went to check if new chapter is out... AND IS COMING OUT TODAY- I'm honestly so excited.
Now I'll go replay all the routes until the chapter is out
(Just realised it may not be 28th where the author? [Qeresî] Is so it may be on 29th or in night for me ToT BUT IT WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT)
Hey! I played the game some time ago so I'll go check what i did so i can like tell you but i know it probably has something to do with the decisions before D is leaving
I just checked it and I don't have a safe before D left so i may tell you how to do that later since I'm going to replay D's route from the start
saw this post that guided me for options past chapter four and this one for before that. i just tried to push our forbidden romance basically. D briefly feels unsteady in ch8 w/ the nobles but we reassure them when we talk to them next.
Hi! Can't go to the specifics as the author discourages guides and such to fully experience the game. But the way it works is to get to know the RO, basically respect their boundaries, and fulfill your role as the Crown thst mostly aligns with how the RO views it.
For D, what mostly works is to choose options that respect their sense of duty, but with a balance of showing interest beyond them being your general. I hope you find this helpful, even though it's vague.
guys please help i just played this game (im still in chapter one) and i saved it. unfortunately my web refreshed itself and i want to restore the game but it doesn’t want to load 😭 or is it because the update? im sure my wifi signal is good
OMG FOUND THIS 2 DAYS AGO AND IT WAS SO GOOD I HAD TO BUY EARLY ACCESS I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THE STORY AND CHARACTERS THIS IS AMAZING !!!!! I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE WAY DELAL WAS WRITTEN AND EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT HER THAT EVERY TIME I TRY TO REPLAY FOR OTHER ROUTES I KEEP COMING BACK TO DELAL!!! [ALSO ZIRYAN UR TIMING!! WHY ?!?!?!] ANYWAYS, I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE FOR THIS STORY
Technically, X is 28 and the Crown is 25 right now because X's birthday has already passed and the Crown's is still coming up in the current year the story takes place in, but otherwise yeah there's a 2 year difference between them!
As for the others, R is 23 (turns 24 later in the year), D is 30 (birthday has already passed) and A is 26 (turns 27 later in the year).
Thank you so much, I was planning on going through D's route next (currently going through A's first. Even though theyre the royal protector id die for them) , and knowing theyre 30 (i am 29 irl) makes it so much better.
I don't think ive played/read many IF where the RO's were all similar to my age irl.
Just a suggestion, but do you think you could make an option that goes straight to CH12? (of course with quick character creation) Sorry if im asking for too much.
i cant wait to play this! i personally am actually a kurdish person so im extremely excited to play this because i never see any kurdish representation
I've found your game a few days ago and binge-played it. It's fantastic!! Thank you so much for your dedication, your hard work and your wonderful storytelling! The characters, the banter, the worldbuilding... everthing is so immersive that I still can't believe the game isn't already turned into a book. I can't wait for the next update on the 28th! 💛
hello ! ive just started playing this game a few days ago and it is genuinely so amazing :3 im currently at chapter 4 and have run into some difficulty which i was hoping i could get some insight on. so basically, i went through the chapter and got to the point of leaving the teahouse with ezo and kaja, the sounds of chimes starting, and then being pushed into the passageway by kaja. after this point, the chiming is still heard and i begin to run, only to end up unsuccessful, resulting in the page finishing with "BAD END". i've gone through this chapter several times already, trying to see if there was something i did wrong, but every time, there was nothing i could do to prevent the bad end. most of the choices i had were personality choices or choices that were locked due to not having good enough relationships with the characters. while i could restart and try to up my relationships with them to see if that would change anything, i don't want to do so, since i don't exactly want to romance the characters i don't want to romance, yk? anyway, if there is something that i'm missing for some reason, please do tell !! i really want to continue playing with my original choices :<
hi!! you may need to restart and pick choices that get you closer to the LIs. when the opportunity to be with your preferred LI arises, pick it! who are you currently trying to romance? i've done all of the routes so if you want further help i can provide it.
so far, i'm thinking of going for R's route however they were the only character not a part of the whole outdoors tour thingy... i'm not sure if changing any of my choices with them would've affected the ending i got.
there is a chance that i simply had too low of relationships with all of the LI's for someone to come save me.. right before my story ended, there was a little snippet saying "you wish that someone, anyone would come to save you", so maybe someone would have come if the relationships were higher? i'm not too sure but i'll replay following the walkthrough. thank you for your help :)
for me i only save when theres an option im not too sure about, and when i picked the wrong one i simply go back. once i finish their routes i download it in my file so that i dont lose the progress for that character but still have enough saves !! mb if you didnt understand english isnt my first language ;;
You said that you didn't pick options that would raise your relationship with a character and that's where your problem lies! As far as I'm aware there are 'friendly' vs. 'flirty' options. And in addition I believe you can keep things platonic? If not then sadly you've got to pick a character and go with it. But my understanding is you need to raise your stats with at least one RO enough to get saved.

That's the way to go, I think (snubbing the nobles). That's how I always get that option at least.
I: told everyone about the assassination attempt, planned a public coronation (open to public and nobles), had festivities only for the public. Not sure if those are all the options you get, but choose ones which benefit the public the most.

Anyone know what determines the mc’s cursive? I got a different font one run but another on a different and i picked all the choices i always do 💀
It's related to your Crown's intelligence/intuitive and blunt/charming traits!

Hi! I recently got into this game knowing the chapter 12 is coming out within hours (!!!).
I just played through D’s route and by the end I was like, “wow this is angsty” not realizing we were UNSTEADY the whole time :((
Could someone please send me a guide on how to have high romance with D? I’ve tried everything haha. Thank you so much!!
i just learned high/low relationships were a thing :(
i'm going to replay and see how it goes lol
Hey! I played the game some time ago so I'll go check what i did so i can like tell you but i know it probably has something to do with the decisions before D is leaving

WHY ?!?!?!] ANYWAYS, I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE FOR THIS STORY
Oh yes i absolutely agree. Ziryans timing is THE WORST
frrr like don't get me wrong love ziryan but please ur killing me here 😞😞😞
How old are all the RO's? i apologize if this is said in a FAQ on your tumblr but i do not have an account and cant see it.
i know the MC is 25 and X said theyre 2 years older, at 27 but how old are the others?
Technically, X is 28 and the Crown is 25 right now because X's birthday has already passed and the Crown's is still coming up in the current year the story takes place in, but otherwise yeah there's a 2 year difference between them!
As for the others, R is 23 (turns 24 later in the year), D is 30 (birthday has already passed) and A is 26 (turns 27 later in the year).

Just a suggestion, but do you think you could make an option that goes straight to CH12? (of course with quick character creation) Sorry if im asking for too much.
There are more than 50 variables you would need to set in order to have a functioning save for CH12, so yeah, not really feasible.
oh ok thanks.
Hello! I've got a quick question. Could someone please tell me what the cuneiform in Chapter 10 in that one R scene means?
nm i thought it meant 'death'
Nope ;)
prithee peace, would you tell me and cease my tireless search for i cannot find these two thingies in one word
i keep getting 'imdu' which means 'dew' and the second thingie is wrong iTS WHY IS THIS DIFFICULT
jokes aside this is an interesting rabbit hole
i cant wait to play this! i personally am actually a kurdish person so im extremely excited to play this because i never see any kurdish representation

ahhh ic
here's the link on how to unlock *every* LI name! ofc u cant do all at once - max. is 3 due to stats. hope this helps!
https://ataleofcrowns.tumblr.com/post/627362513923768320/walkthrough-unlocking-a...
there is a chance that i simply had too low of relationships with all of the LI's for someone to come save me.. right before my story ended, there was a little snippet saying "you wish that someone, anyone would come to save you", so maybe someone would have come if the relationships were higher? i'm not too sure but i'll replay following the walkthrough. thank you for your help :)
np! also yeah , thats how you get the bad end - and why the guide exists!
i do have a question, how do you manage to do all of them with there being limited saves?
for me i only save when theres an option im not too sure about, and when i picked the wrong one i simply go back. once i finish their routes i download it in my file so that i dont lose the progress for that character but still have enough saves !! mb if you didnt understand english isnt my first language ;;
You said that you didn't pick options that would raise your relationship with a character and that's where your problem lies! As far as I'm aware there are 'friendly' vs. 'flirty' options.
